just have to choose a topic, and what you feel about it, what it
represents for you, begins to clarify if you simply choose it and treat
it quite often. ""The important thing to know is that you never know anything. One always gropes to find his way. ""For me the subject is always more important than the image. And more complicated. I'm interested in the draw, but it's not sacred for me. I really think the important thing is what it represents. I mean, it has to be something. And what this represents is always more remarkable than what it is. ""Nothing is ever like it was said to be. What I recognize is what I have never seen before. ""A photograph is a secret about a secret. The more she says, the less you know. ""I really think there are things that nobody would see if I did not photograph them.
